The Things We Dont Say
Rylan never asked for his world to change. He's just trying to make it through high school-keeping his head down, dealing with anxiety, and clinging to the safety of routines. But then there's Hayes, sharp-edged, magnetic, impossible to ignore. What starts as wary glances and offhand remarks soon deepens into something neither of them can name. An unspoken tension that leaves Rylan flushed, breathless, and restless long into the night. As Rylan struggles to understand the feelings awakening inside him, his best friend Kayson begins to drift, shadowed by jealousy he won't admit out loud. Torn between loyalty and the pull of something fragile and new, Rylan finds himself caught in a storm of desire, fear, and identity he can't escape. Tender, tense, and devastatingly real, this is a story about the quiet moments that change everything, the lines between friendship and love, and the courage it takes to finally want what terrifies you most. TWs throughout the story: Smoking, Abuse, Addiction, SH, NSFW, Voyerism (ish?), Homophobia, Religious Trauma, Violence.
For the Rebellion

But perhaps doing things on her terms is the way to get what he wants. Perhaps he might just find that he cares. Perhaps he was wrong, and change is inevitable. Perhaps he might become the prince he's spent his life avoiding. Perhaps, it will all be worth it.Complete
Forgotten

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
The Monster's Pearl (English excerpt)
There was once a castle. It was huge and dark, not a soul dared to go near it. It was called "The Gate of the Underworld" because a lonely man lived there. Rumor had it that he was a demon who had crawled out of hell. There was once a simple family. They had a healthy boy. He had black curls. They were so dark that even the night was afraid to get lost in them. His eyes were so bright that even the sun had to look away to avoid being blinded. His voice silenced the birds so that they could listen to him. The little boy grew up healthy, unaware of the background to his birth. On his eighteenth birthday, he received two suitcases and a letter that would change his whole life. Will he be able to adjust to his new life, or will he throw it all away?Complete
